Providing access with a portable device and voice commands
A system for operating an automobile comprising a transponder having a user interface to receive commands from a user and operating as a virtual assistant, wherein the commands comprise commands for operation of a door of the automobile and a microprocessor in the automobile responsive to the transponder. The system for operating an automobile further comprising a detector subsystem configured to determine a potential strike of an object based on a determined distance to the object, wherein the microprocessor receives a communication from the transponder and wherein the automobile is configured to send a command to a door of the automobile in response to the communication. Further, the system in the automobile is configured to avoid the potential strike determined by the detector system by limiting the operation of the door and producing an alert to a user as to the potential strike.
1. A system for operating an automobile comprising:
a transponder having a user interface to receive commands from a user and to operate a virtual assistant, wherein the commands comprise commands for operation of a door of the automobile;
a micro-computer in the automobile responsive to the transponder;
a detector subsystem configured to determine a potential strike of an object based on a determined distance to the object;
wherein the micro-computer receives a communication from the transponder and wherein the automobile is configured to send a command to a door of the automobile in response to the communication;
wherein the system in the automobile is configured to avoid the potential strike determined by the detector system by limiting the operation of the door and advising a user regarding the potential strike; and
wherein conversations, including conversations regarding the automobile, with the virtual assistant utilized by the transponder are recorded and recallable at a later time, wherein the virtual assistant responds to future commands or questions from the user based on prior commands or questions from the user.
2. The system of claim 1 wherein the system receives charges for a toll booth.
3. A method performed by a system for operating an automobile comprising:
receiving commands, by a transponder having a user interface, from a user to operate a virtual assistant, wherein the commands comprise commands for operation of a door of the automobile;
determining, by a detector subsystem, a potential strike of an object based on a determined distance to the object;
receiving, from the transponder, a communication and wherein the automobile is configured to send a command to a door of the automobile in response to the communication; and
avoiding, by the system in the automobile, the potential strike determined by the detector system by limiting the operation of the door and advising a user regarding the potential strike; and
wherein conversations, including conversations regarding the automobile, with the virtual assistant utilized by the transponder are recorded and recallable at a later time, wherein the virtual assistant responds to future commands or questions from the user based on prior commands or questions from the user.
4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the system receives charges for a toll booth.
